7-letter words with J as the 1st letter and E as the 7th letter

The fixed J-first, E-last pattern produces a compact group: the S-first counterpart has 403 matches. JUSTICE, JASMINE, and JUBILEE are familiar examples, but many other entries are less common. Scoring gives this group a distinctive angle: JAWLIKE leads at 21 points, with three other words reaching 20.

At a glance: count, dictionary coverage, and score

• There are 25 matching words in Collins, the largest of the three tournament lists counted here.
• NWL2023 includes 16 matches, while ENABLE includes 13; the dictionary totals overlap.
• JAWLIKE leads the scoring list at 21 points.
• JACKSIE, JAMLIKE, and JAWHOLE each score 20 points.
• Only 3 matches meet our common-word cutoff.

Which words fit J first and E last?

JUSTICE, JASMINE, and JUBILEE are easy examples to recognize. JOYRIDE and JAWBONE are familiar too, while JADEITE and JOHNNIE are less predictable options. Each has seven letters, starts with J, and ends with E.

Look for the repeated -LIKE shape in JAWLIKE, JAMLIKE, JIGLIKE, and JETLIKE. That pattern can narrow a search when several crossing letters are already fixed, but it does not make the spellings interchangeable. The S-first counterpart has 403 matches, far more than this J group.

7-letter words with J as 1st and E as 7th

JAWLIKE is the top scorer at 21 points; JACKSIE, JAMLIKE, and JAWHOLE follow at 20. JAWBONE and JOYANCE score 19 each. On a board, compare those options with familiar words such as JUSTICE rather than assuming the most recognizable play will score highest.

Common vocabulary is the main limitation: only 3 of the 25 matches meet our common-word cutoff, although 18 have definitions. Dictionary coverage varies too: Collins has more matches than NWL2023 or ENABLE. Check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar entry.
